This is a perfect place to relax and unwind. The cottage is peaceful, comfortable and very well equipped with thoughtful extra touches, welcome tray, flowers, bottle of wine. Very comfortable bed, nice linen, towels and toiletries. Sandra an Nick are great hosts. We loved it.

Just got back from a week at The Old Post Office cottage in Malton. It was fantastic would certainly go again it was well equipped with everything you need. the location was perfect for exploring the coast and also York too. The cottage is very cosy and has a log fire which we didn't get chance to use as it was lovely weather. I can really recommend a visit to Yorkshire there is so much to see and do we visited lots of places but it was so nice to get back and relax. if you are looking for a homely peaceful rural setting this is perfect. Thank you Sandra for the bottle of wine and letting us stay in your beautiful cottage xx

We stayed here during the school Easter holidays and had a fantastic time. The cottage is well furnished and very comfortable. It was equipped with everything we could need. The location too is perfect. Set in a beautiful, quiet village but within easy reach of York, the North Yorkshire Moors national park and the coastal resorts of Whitby, Scarborough and Filey. We also enjoyed days out at Eden Camp and Flamingo Land. The owners could not have been more helpful. They left wine, flowers and Easter eggs for us which was a lovely touch. The guest book shows that there are many return visitors and I can see why.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this warm, extremely comfortable, quiet and beautifully decorated cottage. The red wine was excellent (Australian!), fuel for the fire was abundant and the owners were very welcoming and friendly. This was a wonderful place to stay.

We thoroughly recommend this beautiful cottage for any visits to North Yorkshire, a very good location and very quiet. Extremely tastefully decorated, attention to detail and very clean. The hosts Sandra and Nick provided us with a welcoming bottle of wine on arrival and plenty of fuel for our open fire, which was appreciated. We would definitely love to return and stay again for our school rugby tour if our son is selected. Thank you, a real gem.

Having stayed at many self catering premises over the years, we can honestly say this one is the best. From the warm welcome on arrival to the flowers and wine left for us, everything was perfect. The Old Post Office was spotlessly clean with everything provided, right down to tea towels, oven gloves and dishwasher tablets.We loved it so much we booked to return in April before we left.
